'''Eringya's Formal Garden''' is a [[Wizard Laboratory]] made of [[bush]]es, [[tree]]s, and tasteful statuary. Its map is a fairly simple series of shrub-lined pathways, with a portal out just next to the entrance and a pair of fairly obvious guarded treasure chambers behind [[door]]s. Expect heavy resistance from [[list of centaurs|centaur]] and [[satyr]] defenders, hostile [[thorn hunter]]s, and for the garden to occasionally obstruct your path by surrounding you with [[toadstool]]s and [[wandering mushroom]]s.

The garden's long passageways can give these enemies ample time to pepper you with [[arrow]]s before you can reach them, but they're thankfully not very durable. If you find yourself unable to lure them around a corner, try blasting them with powerful ranged attacks, or start a forest fire near them with [[Fire Magic]] or [[Lightning Bolt]]; if the fire damage doesn't kill them, the smoke will hamper their [[line of sight]] to you. [[Bows]] specialists may find a nice bow here, but don't expect much else from the centaurs.

These goatmen are capable of hitting you with a variety of [[Hexes]], along with their ranged and melee attacks. These include [[Corona]] (near-harmless), [[Cause Fear]] (frustrating), and [[Confusion]] (potentially deadly). As with the centaurs, lure them around corners when possible, and if you have a source of magic resistance, use it.

These [[confusion]]-inducing pests are easy enough to kill with a ranged weapon (possibly one of the countless bows lying around the floor) and at least one space of distance. They occasionally spawn along with the random toadstools the Garden throws at you. Kill them when they appear, but if they aren't adjacent to you, you can worry about more mobile threats first.

If you intend to get any of this Laboratory's loot, you might need to deal with two of these at short range. [[Fireball]] or [[Freezing Cloud]] can take them out in perfect safety, and those with [[acid]] resistance can probably deal with their attacks. Characters without such defenses should be careful not to fight them while other enemies are around, and should be sure to repair any [[corrosion]] before moving on.

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Strewn with twigs and leaves that crunch loudly underfoot, the grass is crisp and fresh.

Eringya's Formal Garden is a Wizard Laboratory made of bushes, trees, and tasteful statuary. Its map is a fairly simple series of shrub-lined pathways, with a portal out just next to the entrance and a pair of fairly obvious guarded treasure chambers behind doors.

Summary

Expect heavy ranged resistance: from centaur and satyr defenders, to eleionoma and thorn hunters. The massive amount of ranged damage can be scary to frailer characters, so repulsion and shields are quite useful.

One of the two treasure chambers will contain a variety of spellbooks and magical staves, which will be guarded by two oklob plants. The other will contain an altar to Fedhas Madash, along with spectral weapons, including a lajatang.

Origin

While modern Crawl players may know Eringya from Eringya's Noxious Bog, this wizlab predates the spell by over 5 years. Instead, it references Eringya's Surprising Bouquet, which was removed in a very early version. The Surprising Bouquet transmuted any wooden item in your hands into a vaguely edible bouquet of flowers. Other than potentially ridding you of a cursed item or keeping spriggans from starvation, it was useless.
